The correct answer is C) women and children.
The 1847 Ten-Hour Act stated that women and children could only work up to ten hours a day.
This act limited the time women and children could work in a textile mill. The act established the maximum number of hours to ten, from Monday to Friday. And for Saturday, just eight hours. This resolution was possible due to the efforts of John Fielden and Lord Ashley, an active member of the British Parliament. The Act represented a decent change in the long hours of work that people had to spend in the mills in those years.
